Nope. 21 degrees south of Atlanta early Sunday morning with sleet and freezing rain.

I see the sleet is getting more involved in ATL now!

 

[TigerSnow]

One thing that may be right about the gfs is a lot of sleet instead of freezing rain in the Carolina’s

I think most of us knew this was always the case in our area. Its super hard to get all snow around us. Its usually a mixed bag of all 3.

This is an insane GFS run

 

[weatherfide]

We all knew the snow was BS in GA on the GFS, wish I never even looked at it. The models that matter have been saying ice storm all long here. Was really hoping to see over a foot of snow like it was painting but instead we will be blessed by ice (or cold rain depending on if the wedge trends weaker, which wouldn't be bad at this juncture).

At this point, you want that wedge to be as strong as possible to keep the lower levels below the freezing layer as deep as possible and hope for sleet.

This is just an insane run for I-40

Well yeah and at least for our area the sleet typically wins out over freezing rain

I love how utterly entitled northern snow weenies are.

 

[rhart]

What did it look like for BHM? Seems like we are destined for ZR

18z gfs turned out to be the best run I’ve ever seen. I hug.

 

[BullCityWx]

Some of yall just need to shut the hell up when a model is coming in

For sure, who knows where this is headed. It does seem that we will see some type of wintry weather though, unless this thing falls way off, but most mets seem to think that won't happen but who knows.

I've been riding this line since sunday. My home/the storm. Three dots

 

[Tarheel1]

Gotta love it Might even be rain by Friday.

Count on it

I think it was February 2015 when I was living on exit 88 and watched it switch types half a dozen times in two hours

 

[Tarheel1]

Skies are gonna need months to heal after this weekends rain!

 

[weatherfide]

This illustrates my point. You can see how the strong wedge cuts down on the freezing rain over Atlanta. This is a good exit out of Ice-ageddon.

 

[jrips27]

Someone in NC is getting 3 feet this run

 

[Stevo24]

GFS looks like a sleet fest. I’m not greedy. I love it

I’m greedy I wanted my foot of snow

 

[TigerSnow]

Doesn't it look like the GFS still moved toward the other model solutions with baja and how it is ejecting?

 

[Snowfan]

that is the most insane GFS snow map I’ve ever seen.

 

[Rain Cold]

Ok actually I do like it!

Lol. I probably get 6 inches of sleet from this.

Wilkes county buy the snowblowers

This is like the treehouse of horror where Homer goes to hell and the devil force feeds him doughnuts

Jimmy is gonna go nuts when he sees the snow gradient from Greenville and the NC border

Huntsville, AL is on almost the exact same razors edge. The soundings are like a millingster over freezing aloft. We both may get sleeted to death

sleet totals should cut that down a lot.

Lock that gradient in. We know the drill on I-85

The northern half of your roof may get a foot more than the southern half

Yeah you're right, that is probably the best bet at this juncture.

 

[jrips27]

3 feet in Gatlinburg? Lets ride lol

 

[Noles1812]

1 inch of sleet is roughly equivalent to 2-4 in of snow, but it's often considered more like a 1:1 ratio (1 inch sleet = 1 inch liquid), meaning it's denser and has less air than snow, with some sources suggesting 1 inch of sleet is like 1-2 inches of snow or even 3-4 inches of snow for the same water content.

 

[jackendrickwx]

the horror never ceases, it merely transforms

 

[Gibby]

I don't think I remember a storm where I saved this many crazy maps. To look back upon

AL/western GA taking it on the chin for us...

 

[Ksnow33]

The battle between underestimating CAD and underestimating WAA will be incredible to watch

 

[broken025]

What do I gotta do to get that 850 line to move south like 30 miles

 

[weatherfide]

Wind chills well below 0F... with likely millions without power.
View attachment 186543

Shouldn't be any wind inside my house, so hopefully, even without power, I can avoid these dangerous conditions. I'm one of the lucky ones with a second, non-electric, source of heat.

 

[buckinbronco]

Would be cool if this was accurate...

 

[Ollie Williams]

If the 18z GFS is anywhere close to verifying, I am not getting on the flight to Houston Friday morning.

I bet any meteorologist in NC would not want to go to Houston
